Abstract
Much of the progress in genetic engineering has been accomplished by employing Escherichia coli as the host organism. For many reasons, however, some other organisms have greater potential as alternatives to E. coli. In particular, streptomycetes are attractive organisms as hosts especially for the producation of various secondary metabolites such as antibiotics. In this article, therefore, we reviewed the techniques for development of vector system and expression of genes for antibiotic biosynthesis in streptomycete hosts.
